Rescue Group

On May 31, 2014, Lauree Simmons, president and founder of Big Dog Ranch Rescue saved ten malnourished and mange-covered dogs, all dachshund mixes, that were living in a Hialeah, Fla., home.

The dogs were just ten of 50 animals living in deplorable conditions. The canines were rescued after a police officer investigated the natural death of one of the home’s residents.

On April 9, 2014, Brandi Glaske, founder of Saving Argo Dog Rescue, adopted a paralyzed Pit bull puppy left for dead on a Michigan road. Today, the dog whose previous owners abused her, leaving her paralyzed, is a happy, healthy dog with the hopes of walking on all fours one day again.

On June 20, 2014, a small puppy named Roady became homeless when his owners tossed him out a car window on a Boone County, West Virgina, county road. Luckily, another driver on that same road witnessed the cruel act, stopped to rescue the innocent dog, and chased the car from which the pet had been tossed.

While most teenagers’ summer plans are to party, sleep in, or watch a lot of TV, 13-year-old Marisa Milford’s summer plans are completely out of the ordinary. Instead of doing what the average teen does during summer, Milford started her own pet rescue in her Youngstown, Fla., home.
